Jesse Ventura on fixing college debt: ‘Get out of the wars’

Towering student loan debts leave many people asking how to tackle the growing crisis. Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura says the answer is getting out of military conflicts and bringing the money back to America. He talks to RT’s Ed Schultz about his plans to fix the problems.
